ALARM CLOCKS
If we look closely at objects that surround us, they often belong to a unified system, a system created by big commercial cooperations. Our habits and behaviours are often sculpted to adapt these systems because there usually isn't a second choice. Everyday objects such as alarm clocks are a good example of these unified systems. There are over thousands of alarm clocks on the market today, but they are all set the same way. The society we live in is changing, shouldn't the interactive side of these daily objects change with us? Perhaps the function of the objects stay, but it is the process of how we interact with them that must change. Should there be different clocks designed for people with different lifestyle; with different sleeping habits? Maybe those who has to get up at a set time in the morning should own a different clock to those who suffer from insomnia. Perfect Sleep and Tyrant are all examples of possible variations on alarms that caters different people's physical and emotional needs. ![]()
